Ellington gives the traditional backpack a modern makeover with the Laurel.
The revamp is purely aesthetic, with sleek, clean lines giving the Laurel an almost futuristic appearance. I love the look, but think it’s a shame Ellington haven’t offered us more cutting edge colors. This conservative tan shade is frankly drab, and a less than ideal match for the red stitching and zipper pulls.
Backpacks have always been practical, and this one’s no exception. Nylon may not be a luxurious choice, but it helps make the Laurel light enough to carry all day. It’ll be comfortable enough to do just that, with both straps adjustable to create the perfect fit. Zip pockets at the front and back can carry the items you want on hand, and the main compartments are large enough to carry textbooks, important documents, and other office and school essentials.
Backpacks are never high fashion items, but the Laurel’s distinct looks are more stylish than its peers. While it might not convince High Street fashionistas, its $55 price tag makes it an appealing prospect for down-to-earth girls on the go.
